LMOGA Opposes Further Restrictions to Offshore Energy Development


01 06, 2025 by LMOGA

Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA) Tommy Faucheux made the following statements in response to President’s Biden recent offshore drilling ban and its potential impact on our industry and American energy security.

“American energy leadership is crucial for global stability, but it demands supportive policies from Washington. The recent offshore drilling ban, though not directly affecting the central and western Gulf of Mexico, is a blatant attack on the oil and natural gas industry—an industry vital to our nation's energy security and economic strength.

This decision undermines our ability to provide stable, reliable, and affordable energy to meet the needs of American families and businesses. We are committed to working with the next Presidential Administration to reverse these harmful policies and champion a future where American energy development thrives, securing our position as a global energy leader.”
